Get Back on the Green!

The game of golf is loved by many. Rain or shine, you'll find many avid golfers out on the back nine. Don't be fooled, though. Golf is a sport like any other, and injuries can occur. The most common complaint is back and neck pain, which is due to the individual's body being in an awkward position as a result of swinging the clubs at golf balls.

Many golfers are turning to chiropractic care to help them deal with neck and back injuries. Here are several ways Dr. Vollrath can help his patients to get off the couch and back to the game they love.

Consistency of adjustments - Keep your body in tip-top condition and operating normally. For example, periodic spinal adjustments keep the body functioning at maximum capacity and reduce injury. In addition, if the neck and back are aligned correctly, awkward positioning such as a golf swing will have a less negative impact.

Reduction in pain - Dr. Vollrath's treatment regime focuses on the origin of the pain instead of just the symptoms. He helps his patients manage the pain through manipulations instead of drugs. After a few treatments, pain is often reduced and more controllable.

Quicker healing time - Back or neck injuries can heal more quickly when chiropractic treatment is sought rather than letting the injuries heal independently. Dr. Vollrath can adjust the spine and work on the joints and surrounding tissue that can cause pain and often speeding up the healing process. In addition, Dr. Vollrath will evaluate the body as a whole, promoting quicker healing of the injury.

Increased mobility - Golfers who play regularly or only get the opportunity to play a few times a year know mobility is a critical component to playing a good golf game. By maintaining a regular treatment schedule, the body is kept loose, strong and working at an optimum capacity which ultimately prevents injuries.

Pre-game warm up - By adding a solid stretching regime prior to playing, drinking lots of water and avoiding overexertion will go a long way to making your golf game that much more enjoyable.

In summary, a visit to Dr. Vollrath - as a precautionary measure or to treat an injury - can help you manage your pain and decrease the time it takes to heal.

So, if you are a golfer or know someone that could benefit from a chiropractic adjustment, contact our office to book a treatment so that you can get back on the golf course sooner!
